Madeleine Albright, the first female secretary of state, vouched for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Saturday and threw shade to young women who supported rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), The New York Times reported.

Sanders took the majority of votes from young women in the Iowa caucus, which Clinton ultimately won last week by a small margin.

Albright discussed the importance of electing the first female President while she introduced Clinton, the Times reported.

“We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you
younger women think it’s done. It’s not done,” Albright said. “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

  1. I’m voting for Hillary because she is the best person for the job, and, by the way, she’d still be the best person for the job if she were a man.

  2. It’s time to watch a football game and watch some manly men loaded with testosterone collide into each other. That would make you feel better, wouldn’t it? But thanks for your attention to cows and pastures for the moment.

    Aren’t you going to be watching? Or maybe sitting on the edge of your couch, you know, just in case your hubby or friends need another beer. I hope the dip is good. And the coffee for later, make sure it’s good to the last drop. LOL!

  4. McCaskill and Albright are cows? Is that supposed to be an insult? Based on what, their appearance? So that’s a job requirement for you? Both are wicked smart, and although Albright may be retired, McCaskill is still working hard.

    I’m not a woman (obviously, screen name) but I have no problem with what Albright said. First of all, tongue in cheek, so lighten up. Second, a woman of my mother’s generation, who achieved at the level Albright did, has earned that perspective.

    Carlos, you’re doing great defending Bernie. Thought I stop by and get the pregame TPM Outrage Party going. Chips anyone?
